WALLDORF, Germany, Oct. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE: SAP)
today announced advancements to the SAP® Vora™ solution that will
simplify deployment on a public cloud and increase flexibility when
migrating between cloud, on-premise and hybrid deployment models.
Additionally, the live customer cloud service on SAP Data Network
can now use the distributed computing capabilities SAP Vora offers
to efficiently process large data volumes and reveal actionable
business insights in near real time.
"We are bringing together data transformation and business
transformation on the same platform, uniting structured data and
computed unstructured data to change the way businesses plan, scale
and innovate," said Greg McStravick,
president of SAP Database and Data Management.
As more organizations move Big Data workloads to the cloud for
increased flexibility and scalability, the new version of SAP Vora
adopts containers to deliver SAP Vora as a container and leverages
Kubernetes for simplified deployment and cluster management on
public cloud infrastructure offerings. SAP Vora provides customers
with the flexibility to choose among cloud, on-premise and hybrid
deployment models, and they can migrate between these options
easily and with minimal disruption.
SAP Vora is planned to support Azure Data Lake, hosted in
Microsoft's public cloud Azure. SAP Vora can load and
distribute data files stored in Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service).
Other key features introduced in this latest release are an
enhanced monitoring framework, support for Apache Spark2.x and
optimizations for connectivity with the SAP HANA® platform.
SAP Data Network Uses SAP Vora to Increase Business Value for
Customers
The live customer cloud service on SAP Data
Network combines expertise in Big Data, machine learning and
analytics to deliver customers an end-to-end portfolio for data
monetization as a ready-to-consume cloud service. Any customer
